GROVER CLEVELAND, SUNSET Cox, ABBAx
8. HEWITT and DAVID b. HILL. Mr..
HEWITT gave his check In the last cam
paign for $4,000 to elect CLEVELAND.
The first thing CLEVELAND did on enter

fences on government lands Mr..
HEWITT being extensively engaged IN
cattle ranching lost s500,000 by this
order. He implored CLEVELAND with
tears 10 save his interests from destruc-
ton. bat with no avail. He is bitterly
hostile to CLEVELAND, whom he will
fight with all bis resources IL renomi-
mated. CLEVELAND IN turn will deprive
him of the machinery OF the government

anyway. While he longs for the nomi-

scalp OF PERRY BELMONT. Mr.. BELMONT
stole bis place at the head OF the Com

mined to keep it when Congress re-
assemblies. Both men are securing the
country sor support and Cox even hopes
TO get the Speakership in order to
dispose os BELMONT. In this fight,
CLEVELAND and BATARD support Cox,
snd Secretary WHITNEY stands by BEL
MONT. Governor HILL by every word
and act processes to support CLEVELAND
for denomination ss the price of his own
nomination on the following term. The
President stands vel with the masses in
New York. and IL be can divert Mayor

that State.
